About Me

Hello and
welcome to Sweet Nostalgia. I’m Cathy, a mixed media artist residing in the
Enchanted Forest in North Carolina where faeries frolic undisturbed.

My Sweet
Nostalgia mixed media pieces reveal how the past interweaves with the present. I
find working with nostalgia bittersweet. Happy memories mingle with a longing
for that which is past; people, places.Creating these works informs me that hope walks hand in hand with
disappointment most keenly discovered with reflection on the past.

Each of my unique
pieces tell a story entwining the vulnerability of hopes and dreams while others
sing with the joy of childhood. You will see the blending of these concepts
here within the pages of Sweet Nostalgia.

My collages
incorporate heirlooms, bits and pieces of authentic vintage memorabilia,
photographs, found and organic elements such as wood, metal, wire, fabric and much
more.
